I'm sure we mentioned "Web Beacons" in the past where Yahoo can track
your movements across the web. Well, now they have refined their
policy and now opting out doesn't always mean opting out.

What they are saying now, is that you have to opt out on EVERY PC you
use to view Yahoo stuff - not only that, but if you have more than
one browser installed on your PC (eg IE and Firefox), you need to opt
out on each one.

Sorry if you think this is unimportant, I think it is.

Here's more info and how to opt out:

<i>Dear Fellow Yahoo Members,

If you belong to ANY Yahoo Group - be aware that Yahoo is now using "Web
Beacons" to track the Internet
navigation of every Yahoo user. It's similar to cookies, but allows
Yahoo to record every website and every group
you visit -ANYWHERE- on the Internet, even when you're not connected to
Yahoo.

To stop this privacy invasive surveillance, go to Yahoo's updated
privacy statement at: http://privacy.yahoo.com/privacy
<BLOCKED::http://privacy.yahoo.com/privacy>

About half-way down the page, in the section on cookies, you will see a
link that says WEB BEACONS.

Click on the phrase "Web Beacons." On the page that opens, find a
paragraph entitled "Outside the Yahoo Network."

In that section find a little "Click Here to Opt Out" link that will let
you "opt-out" of their snooping. Be careful (!) NOT to click the button
shown on the resulting
'You have opted out successfully' page. It is a "Cancel Opt-out" button
that, if clicked, will UNDO the opt-out. Be warned!

Important:

Yahoo's monitoring -- and your ability to opt-out of it -- is NOT
user-specific. It is MACHINE -and- BROWSER specific.
This means you will have to set the cookie to 'Opt-out' on -every-
computer and -every- browser you use to access Yahoo and the rest of the
Internet.

Please forward this concern to your other groups.</i>
